Press Release:
Softlink International
[October 24, 2013]

October 24, 2013. Softlink will be in Chicago (on 7 November) to demonstrate the next-generation request and research management solution, illumin, and discuss how and why service organizations are implementing to help improve productivity and profitability.

Softlink General Manager Catherine Leonard said Softlink's information and knowledge management solutions were providing service organizations and special libraries across America a platform to mobilize their knowledge and gain competitive advantage.

Catherine said illumin was helping libraries and research centers to shine light on the value of research, and raise awareness of how information services contribute to the overall success of the organization.

"Organizations today are looking for transparency in terms of productivity and operational efficiencies," she said. "They want to increase the effectiveness of their services, and they need to analyze and prove their contribution in terms of performance and return on investment."

Catherine said "illumin provides an effective, modern tool for information and knowledge managers to receive, manage, track, publish and reuse queries and solutions. If anyone in your organization has asked the question ‘Does anyone know about …' then illumin can help you."

"Built for integration with email, illumin is easily incorporated into existing workflow practices," she said.

In addition to efficient management and tracking of requests, illumin has been designed to help libraries and research teams reduce duplication of time and effort on repeated requests, unify processes, provide a collaborative team environment (even for virtual teams) and easily produce reports on activities and usage.

The combination of Liberty, Softlink's fully configurable ILS, with illumin provides a powerful performance platform to improve the accessibility and value of any library service or information center. Both solutions enable integration with digital resources and electronic content, finance, human resource and other business management solutions.
